pastry dough, of your choice

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 450'.

Make your favourite pastry, (if making for a"special occasion", I have used"sweet pastry" and made them as"mini" tarts, ther-by changing the"yield", and also CUTS the baking time to about HALF that of a regular-sized tart) Beat eggs ONLY until whites and yolks are well blended.
